I changed the subject line because the opening post did not follow the 48 hour rule thing-a-ma-bob.

Paul has a special offer for people who are part of WWOOF or HelpX. It's a way for them to try Bootcamp with a few less hours/day and without the $100 Bootcamp/GAPPER fee. There are some differences between Permaculture Bootcamp and WWOOF Week.

	WWOOF Week	Permaculture Bootcamp
Hours per day	5 hours plus nest labor (cleaning up after yourself))	8 hours plus nest labor
Accommodations	tent (we prefer you to bring your own but can provide a tent in a pinch) or we might select a humble bunk for you	Your choice of a fancy bunk or a tent (tents provided)
Cost	Free (you've already paid WWOOF membership fee)	$100
Length	1 Week	at least 1 week
Can you stay longer?	A wwoofer that is a hard worker and pleasant might impress somebody here enough that it might be arranged	most people stay for several weeks - and bootcamp is designed for stays of months to years
Meeting location	All WWOOFers meet at the agreed upon public place and time	We can pick you up at the Missoula airport or bus station, or we will give you directions to drive here
Food provided?	Yes! Food staples are provided Boots and WWOOFers cook for themselves	Yes! Food staples are provided Boots and WWOOFers cook for themselves
When can you start?	only on the designated days for starting a WWOOF week (about once a month)	on the designated days to start bootcamp (about once a month)

WWOOF Week is like a trial run for true Bootcamp. People who are part of HelpX are also welcome to join in WWOOF week.

2026 WWOOF weeks: Starting March 1st we will offer one WWOOF week each month, all year!



Some comparisons between the usual WWOOF and the Permaculture Bootcamp

WWOOF:  25 hours per week
bootcamp: 40 hours per week

WWOOF: your efforts raise a crop which is sold
bootcamp: 95% of your effort is to grow food for the bootcamp, build shelter for the bootcamp and do stuff to benefit the bootcamp

WWOOF: you are expected to clean up after yourself and keep stuff in good repair
bootcamp: you are expected to clean up after yourself and keep stuff in good repair, which is done through our structured nest labor program.

WWOOF: most gigs end after harvest
bootcamp: year-round program

WWOOF: rare for a site to offer a PDC or any other events
bootcamp:  spend enough time in the bootcamp and gain access to ant village and other programs.  Once in a long while, we will give tickets for our events.

WWOOF: food is probably grown in monocrops and on flat ground
bootcamp: we grow with polyculture and hugelkultur

is it time to look into "x money"?

I have stopped all crypto.  It just became too much hassle due to being way too broken.  Maybe someday the crypto stuff will work 10x better than paypal.

The last time i touched zelle, i got locked out of my bank as if i were some sort of criminal.  When they let me back in, they said it was a bug with zelle and they refused to tell me more.  Their attitude was like "....   and we will lock you out again ..."

When I bought it I was able to see a day 1 day 2 type menu, where is it? I have time to watch now and plan to get through it but it has disappeared. All I can find is link to buy it but I already bought it.

According to the system you never bought it.  

Is it possible you bought it through one email address, and are now attempting to watch it via another?

All of the video is streaming.  

Everything else is downloaded.  When you have access to all the bits, it shows the size of the files.    If you tell me the downloadable thing you are interested in, i will go take a look and tell you the size of that.
